Debate over human versus machine recorder
January 14, 2010
Sioux City, Iowa: In an effort to save money in the state's judicial system the Iowa Judicial Council created a committee whose purpose it was to determine whether or not digital audio recording technology, or DART, would be financially beneficial as a replacement for human court reporters. The committee concluded, in a report released Tuesday, January 12, that it was "not feasible" to replace human reporters with DART systems.[1]
The Iowa Judicial Council received the report on December 30, and is still reviewing it.[1]
